UK CHARTS: Medal of Honor prevails

After what can be described as a rough ride to retail, EA’s reinvention of its popular Medal of Honor franchise has debuted at the top of the UKIE GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40 in its first week.

In doing so it ends the two-week reign of fellow EA release FIFA 11 at the top of the listings.

Ubisoft’s dance sequel Just Dance 2 manages an impressive third place debut in its first week. That represents a huge improvement over the week one performance of the first Just Dance, which charted in 30th in its first week back in December 2009.
